Handbook for filmmaking that forgot to add a plot
21 May 2022
This was two-plus hours of how-to vignettes on how to add razzle-dazzle to your film. Pick and choose which one will work for YOUR film!

Like....

Here, have her move down the aisle at light speed in her chair. Wow! Pretty neat!

Here, have her relocate - again at light speed! - to another universe and, yeah, track the universes on a cell-phone screen with pixels left over from PacMan. Cool!

Here, a sex toy! Use it somehow! Cool!

Oh wait, need some faux philosophy. Let's use something my kid wrote during therapy. Cool, just cool.

Then they realized that with all these vignettes that you too(!) can insert into your film that they needed a plot. So naturally have it all happen at a laundromat! Continuity!

Ok, Everything team, you really do know how to film gimmicky scenes.

So I know exactly what this is. It's a Filming Gimmicky Scenes documentary.

As a documentary, 10!

As a feature film with a plot requirement, 1.

Average: 2 (the plot being missing counted more than the documentary part).
